Motorcycle Headlight Aiming

[RLemmon]

Getting a correctly aimed headlight is straightforward. You need to make a couple of measurements and then aim the light at a flat wall, as follows:

With the bike on its wheels and you astride, have a helper measure the distance from the floor to the center of the headlight lens.

Pick a flat wall where you can locate the bike so the headlight is 17 feet from the wall. Place a horizontal mark on the wall two (2) inches lower than the height of the center of the headlight.

The headlight beam (on low beam) should be relatively flat on the top, and may rise rather sharply at the right edge. Adjust the headlight vertically so that the flat top of the beam is just up to that line (marked two inches down at 17 feet).

Horizontal adjustment should center the beam ahead of the line of the bike.

erm This is incomplete, doesn't include any pictures, and doesn't even show where the headlight adjustments are. It also doesn't specify the adjustment of the bright's or possibly how to properly adjust them with the highbimmin/sea's modded lights...

Nice catch. This how-to blows my balls...stolen or not.

i know we've given this guy a hard time about this how-to. but it did me the info that i was looking for when i did the search. i know where the adj screws are and which way to turn them so the info that he gave is the part that i was missing.

I'm suprised you still post here RLemmon, you got ripped into pretty good the last time you posted pics here. Which all seem to be deleted now.
